Thousands were evacuated in Russia's south-western Samara region after ammunition exploded at a military training area. Amateur video on the internet purported to show the moment an explosion ripped through the site, with plumes of smoke rising into the sky. Officials said it was not clear what caused the explosions but gave no indication of foul play. Reuters cannot independently verify the content of the videos
